-* `os.tmpdir()` is now cross-platform consistent and will no longer returns a path with a trailling slash on any platform
+* `os.tmpdir()` is now cross-platform consistent and will no longer returns a path with a trailing slash on any platform
 * While not a *breaking change* the 'smalloc' module has been deprecated in anticipation of it becoming unsupportable with a future upgrade to V8 4.4. See [#1451](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1451)  for further information.

See [#1602](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1602) for further information._
